Product Lines and Such

Good Evening my Lovelies!!!

I want to give you an update on what is going on at The Chandler's Rose. I want to streamline my process a little more and be able to spend money, time and effort bringing you quality lines rather than a bunch of cool stuff that is hit or miss.

 Now with that being said, I am now going to start offering more masculine fragrances. However, I am going to offer them in 3-packs. Kentish Rain is normally a soap that I offer from February to August of each year. It is popular with men and women. You know, that is something that I don't get. Women love the men's fragrances and men love the women's fragrances. Anyhoo ... So that being said, rolling out at the end of August will be Earth Man, a heady musky scent that will remind you of grass, cigar smoke and spicy aftershave, Fire Me Up!, a lighter amber musk and reminscient of whiskey, and the ever popular Kentish Rain. I am really looking forward to packaging these and having them ready for the Autumn line.

The next 3-pack is from the Coffee Shoppe line: Almond Biscotti, Chocolate Almond Biscotti and Chai. Or Orange Almond Biscotti Bite, Strawberry Chocolate and Green Tea. The last upcoming 3 pack for Coffee Shoppe: Coconut Creame, Rapsberry Truffle and Raspberry White Chocolate Mocha.

I am taking holiday orders as early as October. The last day that I will ship out orders is December 12th.

Please be sure to visit www.facebook.com/TheChandlersRose to see all upcoming products.

Until next time.

I'm Baaack!

Just when you thought it was safe to go back into the blogosphere ... I have missed you very much. I was in Kentucky for training. Now I am home and am slowly getting my soap room together. I left off with 3 more soaps to blog about and for the life of me I can only remember one. My Bamboo and Sugar Cane is the only one that comes to mind.

 This is what is called a wet soap pic. Aroma Haven's Bamboo and Sugar Cane soaped so well!! There was no acceleration and did not discolor any of my colorants. I cannot begin to extol the virtues of this fragrance oil.

 This is a cut photo of the soap 2 days later. It has an instant lather and the scent sticks to the skin very well. Hands down this is my new favorite FO. This one will be a part of my Soap of the Month club mailings.
 
Later on this week I will begin to make my Fractured Faerie soaps. First up will be Little Red Riding Hood. With each post I will show wet soap and cut soap pics as well as give you some of the backgrounds of the stories, ie pre Grimm brothers edits. I am really excited about this!!
 
Now on to some other news: I will only be taking future orders via Facebook. When there are new soaps, butters, lotions and scrubs they will be photographed and posted on Facebook. Also, I will be putting videos on my channel on YouTube. This is a means for me to be able to explain to you the process of the soaps and share some tidbits about the soap, butter and the scents.
 
Future posts will be about some of the scents that I have crafted. Please be sure to hit me up on Facebook, www.facebook.com/TheChandlersRose. Love you all much. Please feel free to comment here as well.
